The 53-year-old Lindburg initially was charged with first-degree sexual assault and child abuse. In an agreement with prosecutors, Lindburg pleaded no contest last month to one count of attempted first-degree sexual assault of a child, and the child abuse count was dropped.

Lindburg had faced up to 50 years in prison.

An investigation showed Lindburg engaged in sexual interactions with a 15-year-old girl while on duty as Hemingford’s police chief. Investigators said Lindburg had known the girl “as long as she could remember.”

What a worthless waste of air. This pedophile was doing this on the tax payers dollars. I think he should have to reimburse the tax payers, while he was playing house with a child. Frickin sicko. I sure hope he doesn’t have a pension plan coming from them.
